Nameplate mounting structure of camera

Abstract

The nameplate mounting structure of a camera can be easily handled by integrally molding a flange around a nameplate portion of a nameplate to be mounted to the camera. Strength of the electroformed nameplate is improved by providing the flange around the nameplate portion of the electroformed nameplate. This prevents easy deforming in coating or assembly to facilitate handling.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A nameplate mounting structure of a camera having a nameplate mounted to an grip cover, 
       wherein the nameplate for the camera is formed such that a flange is integrally molded around a nameplate portion and that the nameplate portion is projected from the flange, while the grip cover is formed, at a portion where the nameplate for the camera is mounted, with a fitting hole in which the nameplate portion is fitted, and the nameplate portion of the nameplate for the camera is fitted through the fitting hole from inside the grip cover to mount the nameplate for the camera to the grip cover, wherein the nameplate is shaped to fit an arcuate shape of the grip cover, and  
       wherein the nameplate is secured to a mounting plate to be mounted on the grip cover, a front surface of the nameplate portion of the nameplate for the camera is formed with a mark, in an embossed manner, which is formed by depressing a back surface of the nameplate portion, while the mounting plate is formed with a projection to be fitted to a recess formed in the back surface of the nameplate portion, and the projection is fitted to the recess to position the nameplate for the camera on a predetermined position of the mounting plate.  
     
     
       2. A nameplate mounting structure, comprising: 
       a nameplate including a nameplate portion integrally formed with a flange, wherein the nameplate portion projects from the flange;  
       a mounting plate including a mounting portion configured to receive the nameplate portion such that the nameplate is aligned and secured to the mounting plate; and  
       an grip cover with a hole such that the nameplate and the mounting plate mounts to the grip cover such that the nameplate portion is fitted through the hole of the grip cover, wherein the nameplate, the mounting plate, and the grip cover are fixedly secured,  
       wherein the mounting plate includes a plurality of legs configured to secure the nameplate to the mounting plate, and  
       wherein the mounting portion of the mounting plate includes a projection corresponding to a mark embossed on the nameplate portion of the name plate, wherein the projection is used to align the nameplate.
